M ODELING, G UIDED P RACTICE, I NDEPENDENT P RACTICE There is a two-step process to empower temporarily at-risk math students to experience success with deeper learning: Inclusive teachers must ‘train their brain’ to ask TWO questions about the same concept; Inclusive teachers then model, provide opportunities for guided practice, and then gradually shift to independent practice answering second questions Book 1 Page 33

Commitment If you don’t make a total commitment to whatever you’re doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. It’s tough enough getting that boat to shore with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his life jacket on. Lou Holtz

Work collaboratively (e.g., construct viable arguments, critique, agree) to identify key words that capture the essential strategies for an effective Tier 2 & Tier 3 math program with fidelity. Enjoy working with your new best friend. strategies for an effective Tier 2 & Tier 3 math program
